cana Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Anthomyia

Anthomyia cana Macquart, 1835: 340 View in CoL . Syntype (s) ♀ (♀), “du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area), not in MNHN or MHNL, and presumed destroyed.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♀♀. Macquart (1850c: 535) recorded this species as present in the MHNL collection, but no syntypes have been located, as was reported by Griffiths (1993: 1581). 1 ♀ was found amongst miscellaneous Macquart material in MNHN, labelled by Macquart “N°. 93. / Anthomyia / cana”, but this is actually the specimen recorded by Macquart (1839: 117) from the Canary Islands and not a syntype. It is Delia cilitarsis Hennig, 1974 ( Michelsen & Baez 1985: 293).

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The name has been synonymized with Delia platura (Meigen, 1826) (syn: cilicrura ( Rondani, 1866)) by Bezzi & Stein (1907: 713, with hesitation), Hennig (1974c: 881) and Dely-Draskovits (1993: 48), and this synonymy appears to be correct.
